John 12:37 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him: Yet they believed not on him - Though the miracles were wrought for this very purpose, that they might believe in Christ, and escape the coming wrath, and every evidence given that Jesus was the Messiah, yet they did not believe; but they were blinded by their passions, and obstinately hardened their hearts against the truth.
